I don't care if people think I look like a kid. Real teeth are awesome.

hmm .. ok .. I played in the 50's and 60's when no one wore protective face gear. I still have my own teeth ( Got receipts to prove they are mine )

I guess in the 50's and 60's nobody got a stick up and pucks stayed along the ice. Good for you.

I think folks that wear the cheesegater are generally the most dangerous players on the ice. They're liberal with their sticks, trying to bat pucks at face height, they keep their hands/elbows high, and they're usually the ones trying to start shit in a Rec league game.

Let's think of something whacky and hilarious to tell Spidey that happened in every game for the rest of the season. Such as "I can't believe Thornton tried to give Burrows a handjob in that scrum", or "how 'bout that naked fan that climbed the glass and assaulted Schneider".

Herb... they are my teeth.. I bought them after losing a few boxing and a mouthful from a stick in the mouth;) and no, the puck didn't slide along the ice after Boom Boom Geoffrion and Bobby Hull popularized the 100 MPH slapshot .. The amazing thing to me is that although Jacque Plante brought in the goalie mask in 1959 most goaltenders didn't wear one until several years later and one NHL goaltender 'Fearless" Andy Brown still didn't wear one 15 years later.. About the same with helmets.. The "macho" image ya know? I don't expect the league to use common sense now anymore than the did with the "mask" or the "helmet"

Thought that's what you meant by having the receipt....

It's amazing how stupid humans can be!

To me, wearing a visor is a no brainer. Fake teeth can be bought and you can still perform the basic function of eating food with fake teeth. Eyeballs cannot be replaced. In many cases, once your vision is fucked, it's fucked.

It's amazing to me when you see a guy like Mats Sundin have a scary eye injury, yet he goes back to playing without a visor. Sami Salo and Chris Pronger were the same way. Eric Staal is now talking about "thinking about" wearing a visor as a result of his brother's incident, but I bet he doesn't.

Because Spidey's not watching the games you know.

Really?! It's like there's a hidden place where the boys go and do unmentionables.....

It's basketball season you cretins, hockey? pffffft it doesn't start until the Spring (or is that Baseball?!)
